In this paper, an Event-triggered Image-based Visual Servoing Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller (ET-IBVS-NMPC) for multirotor aerial vehicles is presented. The proposed scheme is developed for the autonomous surveillance of contour-based areas with different characteristics (e.g. forest paths, coastlines, road pavements). For this purpose, an appropriately trained Deep Neural Network (DNN) is ...
